Patient's question:
Red dot without itching, a bit like peeling, but very painful during sex. Just discovered it tonight, still oozing. No unsafe sex. Half an hour ago before sex, I washed my penis with cool water and wiped it with a towel. Is there a connection?Doctor's answer:
Hello, your condition may be balanoposthitis, which can be caused by unsafe sexual practices and phimosis. Infections with Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Escherichia coli, Candida albicans, Trichomonas, Chlamydia, Mycoplasma, fungi, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, or other bacteria can all lead to it; alternatively, due to phimosis and insufficient hygiene, smegma (the buildup of unclean material between the foreskin and the glans) may accumulate, irritating the local foreskin and mucous membranes and causing inflammation. Additionally, unsafe sexual practices cannot be ruled out as a possible cause of sexually transmitted diseases. Therefore, it is recommended to visit an infectious disease department for a definitive diagnosis to facilitate timely and appropriate treatment. Wishing you good health.
